My parents purchased a Sony sat nav last year and it has never been updated. Apparently if they want to update it it will cost them approximately £60, think it was £59.99. Is there any way that they could get their sat nav updated for less? :confused:

I bought a Sony sat nav from Halfords back in Jan... last month the software crashed spectacuarly. It was still in warrenty so I took it back to Halfords where they updated it for free, and this cured the problems.

So my advice to your parents is take it back to the purchase site and get them to update it... although as I pointed out to the kid behind the desk at Halfords a 10 month old sat nav shouldn't need updating just to function normally.

Important! How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
